Downton Dog Killed By Left Wing Spite....

[Peter Pedant]

Lord Downton's dog is called Isis

Downton Abbey = Highclere Hall, home of Lord Carnarvon of King Tut fame so having a well bred mutt named after Osiris' spouse is OK

Big temple at Philae ( not to the dog but to Isis )

But now, look ! ISIS is a terrorist organisation, so how unsuitable to have a Lords dog named after that . Ok I suppose Ess-ess would be even worse

So Isis is on his way out, poor pooch

Even Lady Downton was wondering if Isis was looking a bit peaky this week


I hope at least the story line allows the dog to be taken out by

[Peter Pedant]

..... a missile strike....

definitely execution, could be a bomb though.

Is Isis an Afghan, per chance?

Cue:

debate on the name of Guy Gibson's dog

Don't be provocative, Zeuhl.

/Is Isis an Afghan, per chance?/

LOL

might make way for more story lines featuring their pet cat who likes a tipple,

Alky Ida

Why can't they suddenly announce that they had the gender of the dog wrong and be forced to rename it?

Poor dog is being fired because of its name in a drama. I hope that it gets some sort of severance package.

I read (somewhere) that the dog is on the old side - I think that they are merely using this fact to help justify getting rid of it.

Maybe the Animal Rights campaigners will get involved. I wonder what they would have made of a dog called Laddie playing a dog called Lassie? !

//Poor dog is being fired because of its name in a drama.// Cremated, wolfie, that's not pleasant - could be done in a pottery kiln and then they could have an Isis Staffordshire for the Highclere mantelpiece.

LGBT especially the T think it was OK Wolf!

[RandyMarsh]

lol, it is a great story but it is a story.

[wolf63]

RandyM - of course it is all real, I read it in the Daily Mail. :-)

[DTCwordfan]

AOG will say that it's true as well!
